AcFun / A站

AcFun / A站 appears in No.214 寻找同类：小红书、bilibili，以及五花八门的那些社区 | 中国互联网故事 26 as the early Chinese bullet-comment video community that preceded Bilibili / 哔哩哔哩. The episode says creator 西林 built AC FAN in 2007 after seeing Niconico, and A站 introduced bullet comments in 2008.

The source treats AcFun as culturally important but institutionally unstable. Many early remix videos, memes, and anime subculture practices appeared there, while loose management, founder exit, ownership changes, and later data-leak and operating problems weakened the platform.

For the wiki, AcFun matters as the predecessor that made Bullet Comment Community / 弹幕共同体 legible in China and as a contrast to Bilibili’s later professionalization.
